World Cup 2026 draw LIVE: Start time and TV channel as Wales to learn potential opponents

Wales will discover their opponents at next year's World Cup this evening - IF they come through their March play-off matches.

Craig Bellamy's men face two matches in Cardiff in the spring and must win both if they are to progress to the finals in USA, Mexico and Canada in 2026.

In their semi-final at Cardiff City Stadium Wales will host Bosnia and Herzegovina. Should they win that, the men in red will welcome either Italy or Northern Ireland to the Welsh capital in a winner-takes-all clash.

With just 188 days to go before the tournament starts, the draw for the biggest sporting competition on earth takes place today in Washington D.C (5pm GMT), with US president Donald Trump set to make a speech.
